“Fuck no. Are you fucking crazy, Ares?” I chuckle now.
“Extremely.”
“You can’t present Sage to him!”
“Why the fuck not?”
“She isn’t up to his standards, and you know it,” he tells me. He’s right, she isn’t, but that doesn’t mean shit to me. I want Sage. That’s the end of that.
“And?”
“And what if he says no?”
“I’m not letting Sage go.”
“Jesus, Ares. You’ve been stalking her for close to a year. You’ve talked to her twice, and now you’re just going to kidnap her?” I nod my head. That’s the plan.
“Yes.”
“And you think she’s what? Just going to fall in line with that?”
“Absolutely not. She isn’t going to go along with any of this. That’s why it’s called kidnapping, Juno.”
“And what if he says no to her? Then what?”
“As I said, I’m not letting her go.”
“And how do you plan to keep her?” he asks. So many questions. I’m tired of his questions. I’m sick of him doubting me.
“You know, for my best friend, you are questioning me a lot today, Juno.”
“For good reason, Ares. This is insane, even for you.” I walk over to the bar and pour myself a drink before turning to face him.
“You’ve known me since you were born, Juno. You’re nineteen. You’ve been by my side for those nineteen years, and now, you decide to question me?” He sighs and drags his hand over his face before walking over, taking my drink from my hand and bringing it to his lips. I watch him take a drink before passing me the glass back.
“You’re right, Ares. If this is what you want to do, I’m here for you. Tell me what you need me to do.”
“A distraction.”
“Of who?”
“Your little girlfriend, Sara. I need her out of the way while I get to Sage.”
“That won’t be a problem.”
“Good. Then let’s go,” I tell him as I down what’s left of my drink.
“Now?”
“I need to get her before my father comes home, so yes, now.”
“Are you even prepared for this?”
“The basement is soundproof. She won’t be able to get out, and no one will hear her. Everything she needs is down there. It’s perfect,” I explain. I grab our masks off the table and toss Juno his. He looks at it as I grin.
“You want me to scare her?”
“No. I don’t want her to know it’s us.”
